A Historic Setting for Modern Events
Control Room B is a truly one-of-a-kind Battersea Power Station venue hire, set within the building’s original 1950s control room. Carefully restored and preserved, the space allows guests to experience the Power Station’s industrial heritage up close, from the original dials and control desks to the switchgear racks that once powered London. Today, these features form a dramatic and cinematic backdrop for events that demand impact.
Occupying its own private mezzanine floor, the venue overlooks one of the two giant turbine halls, offering a sense of scale and drama rarely found in venues for hire in South West London. At the heart of the room sits a striking centrepiece bar – a turbine-inspired radial sculpture that pays tribute to Battersea Power Station’s electric history. Vibrant furniture, stainless steel control desks, and industrial detailing combine to create a space that feels immersive, distinctive, and unforgettable.
Blending British mid-century aesthetics with elements of Brutalism and mechanical design, Control Room B offers a setting that feels both historic and contemporary. Whether you’re planning a brand launch, corporate reception, or private celebration, this is venue hire in Battersea that delivers character, flexibility, and a genuine sense of place.
